The generation thing is BS, IMHO. Every generation has various types, the good, the bad, and the ugly. They always seem to place the focus on the worst, of late, and try to pin that generation thing on them. The only exception, 'the greatest generation' ... sure, tons went off to war and worked in war production, good for them, but that was relatively small numbers overall, heroic ... but there were still many pussies, criminals, and just plain farmers and shoe salesmen out there, no different than any other generation.
Plus there is too big of a date range. I'm Gen X, but that is said to range from mid 60s to mid 80s 1961
to 1979 (according to wiki, same difference, my statement stands), well that's 20 years, pretty big damn difference.
Yes it is ... same with boomers. That's '46 to '64 ... being the oldest in my family, I'm a lot different from my end of boomer years siblings. It's all BS and meaningless in the scheme of things.
If a girl had a kid when she was 16 or 17, technically it would be from the same generation given that standard. How much sense does that make!
My concern is how out of proportion the branding and overarching themes have become. I've got nothing against civil rights. Why are they pretending electing a gay politician just b/c he's "gay" is progress? Real progress would be electing the best person for the job provided they're not a criminal. Coming soon... Joe Blo is the first pedosexual politician in history... "progress™".
My general thoughts on the matter is that so long as you're lowering my taxes you can suck all the adult dick you want. Progress for the sake of progress isn't progress and don't just push the next degenerate thing on me b/c democrats ran out of shit to do.
True enough.
